The Dutchman, writing in his programme notes ahead of Saturday's FA Cup third round tie against Sheffield United, concedes January is not the best time to buy, but he is not ruling out bringing in new faces this month either.

"I don't see January as the ideal time to do business as the players cannot then have the pre-season that I feel they need to be integrated into the squad, both on and off the pitch.

"However, if I and the coaches feel that something can be done to improve the current squad then that is something we will look at if the opportunity does arise."
